[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Switzerland has a ton of guns per capita. But they are highly highly regulated (with strict background checks) and they haven’t had a mass shooting in 20 years. Let’s try their way![/quote] As a Swiss I thought about that a lot. It boils out to a difference in mentality and social structure. We have troubled and violent young people too. They act out in many ways, but are have more social interactions and an overall healthier social fabric around them. Young men go to military service and then bring their service rifle home. They relationship to guns is not a passionate one. Rural people like to go the shooting range. But it stops there. Also we have a direct democracy. So if the people want to change gun laws, they do. [/quote] Exactly. Having lived in Europe, I can see how most Americans simply have no understanding of the social structure there.[/quote]
